A police officer pulled over a minivan that was crawling along the road at just 25 miles per hour, causing quite the backup in mid-day traffic.<\/p>\n
Inside was an elderly gentleman behind the wheel, and a group of older ladies sitting silently, looking like statues\u2014wide-eyed and clutching their purses for dear life.<\/p>\n
The officer leaned in and asked, \u201cSir, is there a reason you\u2019re driving so slowly?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man replied, \u201cWell, officer, I\u2019m just following the speed limit. The sign back there said 25!\u201d<\/p>\n
Trying not to chuckle, the officer shook his head. \u201cSir, that\u2019s not the speed limit\u2014that\u2019s the highway number. You\u2019re on Route 25. The speed limit here is 65.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh!\u201d said the old man, eyes wide. \u201cWell that explains a lot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer glanced around the van and noticed the elderly passengers looking extremely tense\u2014stiff as boards and pale as ghosts.<\/p>\n
He leaned in again. \u201cIs everyone okay? The ladies look\u2026 a little shaken.\u201d<\/p>\n
The driver scratched his head awkwardly and said, \u201cWell, officer\u2026 we just got off Highway 150.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
